KLOPP MAKES CLAIM ABOUT £8M MAN EVERTON AND TOTTENHAM WANTED TO SIGN

published by content on Thu, 10/20/2022 - 02:35

Jurgen Klopp branded Mohammed Kudus‘ goal for Ajax against Liverpool on Tuesday night as “incredible”, as the Ghana international equalised for his side against the Reds – amid summer interest from Tottenham and Everton. Liverpool came into the game desperate for three points – after losing to Napoli 4-1. They got off to the perfect start, Mo Salah opening the scoring. But a rare foray into the Liverpool half saw Kudus take a touch, and unleash a rocket.

The ball flew into the top corner from 12 yards, pinging the underside of Alisson’s crossbar as it went in. A wonderful strike – one deserving of at least a point. However, Liverpool eventually found the winner – a header from Joel Matip. In the summer, Tottenham and Everton were supposedly showing interest in Kudus. An £8million signing for Ajax, his value is getting bigger and bigger as he netted a second Champions League goal of the season. Klopp was impressed.

JurgenKlopp told BT Sport, as per BBC Live's coverage that he was not sure it was their first attack, but Ajax didn’t have a lot. He then said that’s how it is in their situation, anything can happen, but it was an incredible strike from [Mohammed] Kudus. Kudus would have been a wonderful signing. Not just because he is showing he can score goals in the Champions League, but because he is still only 22. Powerful, quick, technically excellent – he is already vastly experienced.
With 106 appearances under his belt for Ajax and Nordsjaelland – and 16 caps for Ghana – he is impressing. But most of all, because he offers incredible versatility. Naturally a midfielder, he can play out wide or even as a striker. Had Tottenham or Everton moved in the summer, they might have been looking at a fee under £30million. As he continues to score on the biggest stage, that fee is only going to soar past that mark.
